Mr. Harrlman said he was the owner

Fish's interest, the Union Pacific stir-
rendered to him OS shares of Illinois

These facts were developed from the

read by the wit nets at the reaucst of

appeared, had been made by Mr. Har

Counsel then placed before the Oomm
Bion, by means of the minutes, the fs
that most of the executive commit t
meetings consisted of the "ratification
and confirmation" of previous acts of the
chairman. At one of these meetings, the
chairman reported that, acting- as presi-
Cent of the Oregon Short Line, he had
boucrht the Baltimore & Ohio stock. His
action was ratified and the purchase con
firmed. Air. Harrlman reported that

lid they would produce the agreement.
Mr. Harrlman reported at another
meeting that lie had borrowed certain
sums and made certain loans to various
ruilroad companies. His action was con
firmed, although what the loans wen
did not appear, counsel promised to fur

it an immoral act to ahow that "swollen

of Us officers that we see throughout the

gerous example be set before the people
than that or the President of the United
States rebuking; an honest Judge for

CONSTABLE MAKES A RAID
Ten Inmates of Tony Arnaud's Dive
Are Arrested.
After a few days immunity from Inter
ference by the authoritiea the inmates of
the disorderly houses on North Fourth
Street were again arrested last evening,
when Constable Lou Wagner swooped
down on the dive conducted by Tony
Arna.ua at Fourth and Everett streets and
took ten women Inmates Into cuatody.
They were released upon depositing 51400
bail.
The Constable acted upon warrants is
sued from Justice Reld's court, upon the
comnlaint cf J. Hoffman. The raid is
believed to hav? been instigated by vome
parties connected with the notorious Paris
Mouse, -which was closed, several- weeks
ago, and since that time several efforts
have been made to close the entire lo-
ealitv. The most recent instance waa the
warrants issued for a large number of
disorderly places eworn out by a man
named Michel, which he afterwards failed
to prosecute. Last evening's raid by the
Constable was to have been more ex
tensive in its scope, but some person suc
ceeded In beating the official to the scene
of the proposed arrests and warned the
inmates, who promptly closed up ana were
not to be found when nagner arrived.

the cure of men's diseases Is not

I have treated so many esses

and what I cannot do, and I never
promise or attempt too much. I
accept no case in which I have

the claims I make. Following
are some of the diseases I cur.
